FRANKFORT, Ind. (September 14, 2023) – City councilman Michael Brite (District 3) has resigned from the city council according to a public Facebook post made on his personal profile. The resignation is effective immediately – he and his wife, Kathy, are moving to Florida.
The resignation comes just one day after he announced prior to the conclusion of the September 11th city council meeting he was resigning immediately from the Frankfort Redevelopment Commission – the council approved councilman Eric Woods to fill Brite’s seat on the RDC.
Brite, who was serving his first term on the council after a 2019 election win, had won the May 2023 Republican primary in an uncontested race – a caucus will be held within 30-days after official papers are filed with the county clerks office.
Below is Brite’s full statement:
“As most of you know Kathy and I are moving to Florida. I have informed Mayor sheets this evening that I am resigning from the City Council effective immediately. Before any of the conspiracy theorists get any ideas it’s not because of our Mayor. I would like to take this time to thank the Council and the Mayor. I have enjoyed working with you all. I know that all these Council members and The Mayor are doing a great job in moving our city forward. We are not always going to make everyone happy but one thing I have learned is the ones that are happy stay quiet but the 5 or 6 unhappy people that have never made it to a meeting in my 4 years, they are the ones that make the most noise and unfortunately make you wonder if the job is worth it. Being told that you’re on the take, ,your part of the good old boys and bla, bla, bla. I guess there will always be those types of people. I just wish they would run and win so they could then be accused of the same thing. Oh well enough of that. I love Frankfort and always will. I think there are great things ahead for this city. Thank you Mayor for hanging in there and thank you City council. By the way you 5 or 6 haters, keep up the good work and try to at least come to one meeting in the next 4 years.”
